Gloria B. (glowbird) from SPOKANE, WA
Reviewed on 6/6/2017...
This doc focuses on a single community in France that made an unprecedented move to serve only organic foods in their school. The demand created a market for growers, they hired caterers and a kitchen to provide food to the several schools and the Meals-on-Wheels program. The decision to feed children only organic food was a reaction to commercial agricultural practices that resulted in the deaths of many children in the community that were exposed to toxic chemicals being sprayed on near-by crops. Here in the US, because the country is so large, we wouldn't see the effects as immediately as this small community. Food for thought (pun intended). This is a good doc, worth viewing.
